Chapter 26: Tie Them Up
Ye Ran finished washing his hands. When he turned around, he saw Chi Yuheng’s half-smiling expression.
He was startled so much that he shivered, and he couldn’t help but let out a curse. “Holy shit!”
As soon as the words fell, he reflexively backed away. But behind him was the sink. With a “thud,” his butt firmly hit the cold edge of the counter, making him gasp in pain, and tears nearly welled up.
He clutched his butt, frowning at Chi Yuheng, and spoke crossly, “You… when did you come in…”
“I just came in, but Young Master Ye was so focused on washing his hands that he didn’t hear me,” Chi Yuheng said. After saying that, he took a step forward, grabbed Ye Ran’s arm, and pulled him forward. “Let me see your butt.”
Fuck! Is my butt something just anyone can see?!
Ye Ran instantly bristled, hissing, “See my ass!” At the same time, his hands tightly protected his back.
Chi Yuheng was nearly amused by his action. “Does it hurt?”
Ye Ran nodded. “It hurts.”
Chi Yuheng: “Then let me see if it’s broken?”
Ye Ran shook his head while covering his butt. “Not even a bit.”
Chi Yuheng: “…”
Ye Ran stared at Chi Yuheng warily. “What did you come in for?”
Chi Yuheng stood beside him and turned on the faucet, putting his hands under it. “I came in for the same reason you did.”
Just to wash his hands. Ye Ran thought he had probably overthought it.
He tilted his body, pressing against the ceramic tile on the wall, and moved out bit by bit.
The bathroom on the first floor wasn’t large, and the space around the sink was also small. Since Chi Yuheng was standing outside washing his hands, Ye Ran was naturally blocked inside, so he had to move out.
Before he could take a few steps, the sound of water suddenly stopped. The next second, a sturdy arm blocked Ye Ran’s path, making the person who was about to run freeze in place.
A ghostly voice came from the side, “By the way, I have a question for you.”
Chi Yuheng slightly lowered his body, and the distance between the two instantly shortened. The man’s faint scent of cold cedar nearly wrapped around the tip of his nose.
Ye Ran’s breathing hitched due to this sudden proximity, and his back pressed even tighter against the cold tile wall. “You… if you have a question, just ask properly, don’t…”
Don’t do this.
It made him nervous easily.
Before he could finish, Chi Yuheng’s fingertips had already brushed over the skin on the side of his neck. That subtle friction seemed to be a fuse, igniting the heat in his heart.
Ye Ran had the cold tile behind him and Chi Yuheng’s warm touch on his neck; at this moment, he felt like he was in “ice and fire.”
Yet his legs seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move at all.
Chi Yuheng’s fingertips were still lightly stroking that mark. “You said this was bitten by a mosquito?”
Your uncle.
Don’t you know if it was bitten by a mosquito or not?
It was a mosquito, the “big” mosquito in front of him.
Ye Ran gave a cross “Mn.” He didn’t believe Chi Yuheng would give him another mark at this time. There were only the two of them in the bathroom; he’d see how he explained it when they went out.
Chi Yuheng pulled out a bottle of medicine from somewhere and sprayed it on his neck. It was cool and refreshing. “Since you were bitten by a mosquito, spraying some medicine won’t make it itch anymore.”
In fact, it didn’t really spray there, but a bit further back. In that kind of situation, Ye Ran would naturally have a sensory error.
Chi Yuheng hadn’t finished. “You said I’m a mosquito, should you be punished?”
“Huh?”
Ye Ran glared at him. “When I said you were a bastard, I didn’t see you…”
“Mmh…”
During the clash of teeth and lips, an ambiguous atmosphere spread.
Since he took the initiative to ask for a kiss last night, Ye Ran felt that Chi Yuheng was kissing him more and more naturally.
Anywhere, anytime, even a small problem caught by him resulted in a kiss.
Now the most critical thing was, Ye Ran felt Chi Yuheng was kissing deeper and deeper. He didn’t want his lips to be swollen; Chi Youchu was still outside.
Besides, they had only been in there for a hand-wash; it shouldn’t take this long.
“Chi Youchu…” Ye Ran finally managed to squeeze three words from the gaps of his teeth, and the person opposite paused and finally stopped.
Chi Yuheng stared at his slightly red lips, the ink color swirling in his eyes.
The name Ye Ran called was Chi Youchu!
Ye Ran hadn’t expected that just saying a name would make Chi Yuheng’s expression so dark.
If he didn’t know better, he would think he was jealous and wanted to kill Chi Youchu eight hundred times in his heart.
After catching his breath, Ye Ran finally managed to speak fully, “I was saying, Chi Youchu is still outside. We shouldn’t stay in here for too long; it’s easy to be… to be mocked by that bastard for falling into the toilet while washing my hands and needing you to fish me out…”
Only then did the gloom in Chi Yuheng’s eyes gradually dissipate, and the corners of his lips slowly tilted up.
“He’s already left,” Chi Yuheng said.
“Ah?”
“He left right after breakfast.”
“Why did he leave so early?”
Chi Yuheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You don’t want him to leave?”
Ye Ran: “…”
He really didn’t understand Chi Yuheng’s train of thought anymore; he never knew where he would be waiting for him.
Ye Ran spoke logically, “Didn’t he always like to linger here longer? Why did he leave so quickly this time?”
“He already stayed here for a night yesterday.” Chi Yuheng looked down at him. “The main reason is the modified car you gave him. He didn’t get to try it yesterday, so as soon as he woke up this morning, he couldn’t wait to try it. If it weren’t for breakfast, that kid would have vanished as soon as he got up.”
Ye Ran was speechless.
Chi Youchu really ran faster than anyone when he shouldn’t. He wanted to be brothers, but they only were for one night, and the next day he was drawn away by the car.
Yes, Ye Ran understood perfectly what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
Once the typhoon passed, Ye Ran naturally went back to his own room to sleep that night.
After showering and coming out, he leaned on the bed. His skin, which had been rinsed by warm water, was still moist and warm. Sinking into his soft bed, Ye Ran only had two words: “Comfortable.”
Suddenly, the typing sound started.
Ye Ran’s alarm bells instantly went off in his heart.
Again!
In a flurry, he took out the rope he had prepared beforehand by the bed and tied his feet. “Let’s see how you’re going to walk now.”
The next second, an astonishing thing happened. His feet couldn’t walk anymore, but they changed to moving slowly, scooting forward with his two knees.
Ye Ran was like a caterpillar, moving slowly on the hallway carpet. The final destination was still Chi Yuheng’s room.
Ye Ran: “…”
He was done.
When Chi Yuheng opened the door, what he saw was Ye Ran sitting on the floor, holding the rope he had just untied from his feet, with an expression that could be described in four words: “loss of all hope.”
Chi Yuheng: “You…?”
Ye Ran threw out the reason he had thought of. “I’m afraid of the dark and wanted to come sleep with you.”
Chi Yuheng’s gaze, however, was on the rope in his hand. “So you want to play ( ) with me?”
Translator’s Note:
- SB: Again, “idiot.”
- Shoot oneself in the foot: A translation of the Chinese idiom “lifting a stone only to drop it on one’s own feet.”
- Play ( ): Chi Yuheng is hinting at some “adult” games involving ropes! Our Big Boss is quite the teaser.
